- Decorating the Christmas tree with the kids (or attempting). It didn't last long before we called it bedtime and finished it after they went to bed.
12/5/10
12/5/10 Call thought the ornaments were a lot more fun to play with than to put on the tree. She kept saying "pretty" over and over. Carter like to take the tops off of them.
12/5/10 Carter helping daddy decorate the Christmas tree.
This was the first and last day that the tree was exposed to the twins. We ended up having to take two large boxes and block off the tree. Oh well. We also have a smaller tree with the meaningful ornaments on and stupid us, actually put it out this year. I think only half the ornaments survived. The tree was pulled over at least 5 times. If they weren't messing with the tree they were (carter) unplugging the lights to it and plugging them back in. Carter is really drawn to electrical outlets. He usually is sticking his rubber snake or strings to his pull toys in the outlet, so I guess this time is was at least what belonged there. He of course figured out how to remove outlet covers a long time ago. So it looks like we will be starting fresh with our memory tree and that is ok, it will be our family memory tree now and that is super special to me!
